Within ten seconds, Batman and The Flash were in the BatCave.

Batman ran to the BatComputer from the vehicle entrance. The main screen had a break in it. "Shit." he muttered, before looking down and seeing a note on the keyboard:

Years ago, I broke the bat

Tonight, I break the man.

"SHIT! ALFRED!" he shouted, running to the staircase to the study. The Flash followed. They ran up the stairs, Batman activated the door, and ran into the room. "ALFRED! STEPHANIE! JASON!" he shouted again.

"I say, why are you yelling?"

Batman turned to the other doorway to his left. "You're okay?"

Alfred was standing in the doorway with a raised eyebrow.

"Indeed sir. Mr. Allen I hadn't expected-"

"There's been a security breach!" The Flash interrupted.

Alfred looked suprised. "I haven't received any alerts from the redundant security measures."

Batman's gears started turning. He was thinking about how that could have happened. He knew Bane knew who he was, it's how he crippled him, but why he was suddenly brazen enough to invade his home again was...

"Alfred, where's Selina?"

"Who?" Flash asked.

"My..." Batman adjusted his gauntlet under the cape, "my girlfriend."

The Flash's eyes nearly popped out of his eye sockets. "You're-"

"She left after this morning, sir. What happened?"

"Bane."

"How descriptive."

Batman raised a gauntlet and pressed a button. A phone screen popped up (that was only visible through the lenses) and dialed that number he was handed a few weeks back. The line rang as ge touched his fingers to the side of the mask.

"Bruce." The Flash said.

"Wait." he said replied.

She picked up. "BRRRrrr!?" she chirped into the phone, making a sound a cat would make when woken from a nap.

"Where are you?" Bruce asked. He was still in the suit, but that voice was very much Bruce's, not Batman's. The Flash took note of it.

"I'm at a McDonald's with Cassie and Kate. Why?"

"I need you all back at the Cave. Now."

"What?-"

"PLEASE...just... please?" Bruce asked. The Flash was beaming.

"...Okay we can be there in twenty-"

"Which McDonald's?" Bruce asked?

Alfred jogged to the clock, turned the hands to 10:48, and went into the Cave.

"The one on eighth in Bristol, why-"

"Flash! McDonald's on eighth in Bristol. Now!"

"Uh... on it!" Flash stammered, before vanishing into a blur of yellow electricity.

"Wait what about my-" Selina said over the phone - "-car" Selina said right in front of him. Selina was still holding a large fry, Kate was biting into a chicken sandwich, and Cassandra was holding a half-eaten big mac.

"What the hell just happened?" Kate asked.

Cassandra continued eating her burger as if nothing happened.

"Bruce! What the fuck!?" Selina roared. She grabbed a couple fries and threw them at him. They bounced harmlessly off of his masked forehead. Kate felt like throwing her own food at him, but abstained. Cassandra kept eating her burger. The Flash was once again beaming.

"We had a security breach. I couldn't risk it."

Cassandra stopped eating her burger and looked at Batman.

"What kind?" Kate asked.

"Bane. He had some of his goons rolling down Central City with a crate of Venom. One of the suspects' testimony suggested Batman was supposed to be distracted." The Flash answered.

Selina, Kate, and Cassandra glared at him. He raised a defiant eyebrow. Unlike many, The Flash wasn't scared of Batman, nor the ones he calls family.

"Kate, I need the rest ready for tonight." Batman told her. He looked at the time stamp in his lense. It was already almost noon.

Selina rolled her eyes. She knew what was coming.

"Selina, stay out of this." he ordered.

The Flash looked at the woman he addressed. He deduced that she must have been the result of that weird smirk Bruce Wayne made this morning, but he still wanted to know who the hell this woman is and why Bruce told her who he is, moreover, he felt hurt that he hadn't told him.

"We talked about this." Selina said angrily.

"I know but-"

"No! No 'buts'!"

"Selina..." Kate said. She knew when Bruce was scared. The signs were subtle, but she knew him long enough to know.

"Bane knows who I am! His people could have seen me going to your place!" He yelled back at her.

"Wait, he does?" Selina asked, seeming to calm down.

"It's how he crippled him." Kate told her somberly.

"I didn't have them back then..." He said pulling back his mask, taking a step toward her and touching her arm "I didn't have... you..."

Cassandra rolled her eyes. The Flash smiled.

Selina's expression turned into one of affection. She then grabbed another fry from the cardboard pouch and touched it to his lips. "You earned one."

Bruce looked at her like she just spoke an alien language.

"I don't want-"

Selina stuck the fry in his mouth and sighed. "I'll stay out of it."

"Thank you." Bruce said after chewing and swallowing the fry. He thought it tasted like greasy shit, but he didn't want to show it. "Where will you go? It's not safe in here. It might not be safe where you live. He could know."

"I could take you back to Central." The Flash offered.

"Easy there, Speedy Gonzalez," Selina teased, throwing a fry at the the scarlet speedster, "I'm a big girl. I can handle myself- hey!"

Bruce took her fries. Selina glared.

"We need to gather everyone, The Signal, Batwing, and Blue Bird, included." Bruce said, inadvertently eating a fry. He jerked his head when he tasted the fry and handed it back to Selina.
